Parked at the Plummer trailhead and rode to Harrison in mid-July. Ride to Harrison is great as it’s on the downhill grade. Yay! But you know what that means. Uphill on the way back so keep that in mind. The trail itself is still I. Good shape—there are some patched cracks but they’re not as bad as some other RTTs.
I wrote this trail from Harrison to Plummer. I especially enjoyed the ride across to bridge. The lake views are beautiful!
Rode this trail June 2024 from Lamont to Tetonia. Gorgeous scenery of wide open lush farmland with the Tetons in the background. i chose this section because I didn't have enough time to do the full stretch and I wanted to see the bridge over Bitch Creek. It did not disappoint.
Tiny parking lots at Lamont and Felt enable you to jump on/jump off. It took me 2.5 hours on an e-bike but using the assistance at a minimum. There is a cafe in Tetonia if you are hungry when you arrive, or go another 7 miles to Driggs (no known bike path, but had our car there).
Trail is mostly gravel and only a few spots with loose sand. Definitely recommend!
Absolutely beautiful! I saw this trail on Instagram last year and promised myself I would ride this. I packed my things and drove over 22 hours with the strict purpose of riding this trail. Trust me when I say… ”Put this on your bucket list and ride this!”
Go to the website for Lookout Pass ski lodge and make sure there isn't a running event scheduled for the day you want to ride.
Be sure to plan around wildfire smoke in the late summer.
Very busy trail on Sunday afternoon. Was a beautiful afternoon. Trail along the lakeshore is nicely paved but shares the road. Not a main road and traffic moved slowly. Started the trail at Cheamkwet Park and rode east. Trail is marked but not that well. Stopped a number of times to check our route. Part of the trail travels along a residential street with a fair amount of traffic. We only rode a few miles and returned to parking and then went west for a couple miles. Fewer users that direction. Wide paved path. Would be worthy of another ride next time in area.
Wrote this trail from the city of Coeur d’Alene to the Washington border in early September. Some nice sections along the lake, but also some rather boring very exposed sections closer to the Washington border.
Rode this trail in three segments with the Road Scholar group in early September. Beautifully maintained
I wrote this gorgeous gravel tunnel and trestle trail with Road Scholar group early on a September morning. No crowds, probably because it was after Labor Day and early in the day.
